Simple solutions turn heads
I'm a CS PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Professor Mohit Gupta.
I have been fortunate to work with many brilliant professors and experts throughout my journey. Prof. Renu Rameshan ignited my interest in computer vision early during my Bachelor's at IIT Mandi which also led me to exploring generative modeling for outdoor lighting during my junior year with Prof. Jean-FranΓ§ois Lalonde and Dr. Yannick Hold-Geoffroy. After graduating, I spent a wonderful year at IIT Madras getting closer to sensors alongside developing 3D reconstruction and generative facial video editing methods as a Bosch Research Fellow at the Computational Imaging Lab directed by Prof. Kaushik Mitra. Interestingly, my vision sensors and generative interests got a human touch to them as I spent the summer of '24 at Computational Behaviour Lab, advised by Prof. Antti Oulasvirta and now Professor, Yue Jiang.
Apart from research, I enjoy riding my motorcycle, baking and trekking. My previous trek (8th) was Sandakphu-Phalut in the Himalayas overlooking the majestic sleeping Buddha. I also love to travel during the holidays to meet my close friends Julian Fabinc and Noemi Ippolito.

Unconditional face generation at the speed and size of DCGAN using a relatively tiny training dataset (~4000). Convergence and higher fidelity over StyleGAN are achieved using a spectrally normalized discriminator and a tiny generator within 20 minutes on a commercial, free cloud GPU.
Synthetic dataset generation and sinusoidal activations lead to a winning solution over the final displacement error.
